“I have always wanted to be a painter. I love paint, the smell of it, the look of it. I love colour, drawing and mark making. I have spent my life learning the language of art. I dreamed of waking up each day and confronting a blank canvas, of drawing in charcoal and slashing colour across the surface, of picking up my paints and painting en plein air.”
– Michael Nock

Australian-born Michael Nock is a wine connoisseur, successful business man, avid art collector and a passionate painter. A graduate of CalArts, Nock’s art practice roots itself in the rich vernacular of Australian landscape painting. In 2013, Nock established the not-for-profit Nock Art Foundation, seeking to promote cross-cultural artistic collaboration and nurture the arts through projects and exhibitions engaging with artists from Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and China.

“成為一個畫家一直是我的心願。我喜歡顏料，顏料的味道，顏料的樣子。我喜歡配色，描繪和各種形狀符號。我一直以來都在學習藝術的語言。我作夢都希望每天睡醒就面對著空白的畫布，在上面用碳條素描或者顏色盡情揮灑，或帶上顏料外出寫生。”
